OpenDayOfWeek monday sunday data buggy ?

I had the same problem.

A trade must be opened after the 4th hour on stop.

But simply using hour > 4 doesn’t work on the first hour on monday.

To prevent this I tried dayofweek>0 or >=1, time<>000000, intradaybarindex>=1 etc. to no avail.

so I settled for this

if dayofweek=5[1] and hour[1]=22 then
skipmondayhourone=0
else
skipmondayhourone=1
endif

00:00:00 is the new day worldwide and the label on the chart clearly shows it, but PRT consider it both ways, say 1h TF:

• the tag on the charts reads Monday (new day)
• IntraDayBarIndex is 0 (Monday, new day)
• OpenDayOfWeek returns 0 (sunday, previous day)

OpenDayOfWeek is obviously incorrect!

I don’t think that it is incorrect. If we think that our open time is actually the same as our close time of the previous candle or segment of time where a candle could be created then our previous candle closed at midnight Sunday and so we have to say that the next one opened at midnight Sunday.

Why not? The IntradayBarIndex is just a daily candle count starting at zero it is not associated with the open or the close – it is just saying here is the first candle of the day! The open has to be given a time and day and it is given the same time and day as the close of the previous candle. Seems logical to me.

You don’t call it Sunday’s candle you call the open of the candle Sunday because it was midnight Sunday that it opened.
